    Description

    Entire King James Bible (1200+ pages) on an Inch PLUS of microfilm. It would take a microscope to read it. Comes sealed in a cool display but you can remove if you want.
    This is somewhat similar to the Microfiche microform BIBLE produced by the  NCR Apollo Project organized to take the Bible to the moon. You can Google Apollo Bible or Apostles of Apollo and read the fascinating story.
    This is so cool and makes a great gift, especially when you attach the Apollo connection. Supply is limited to those on hand...produced in 2002.
    Here is a blurb about "The Apostles of Apollo"...a book by that name on Amazon with the Bible story.
    When NASA scientist and Chaplain John Stout accepted a position in the Apollo program at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, he said he would stay for one year - no more. All that changed on January 27, 1967, when Apollo 1 astronaut Ed White II died with his crew mates in a flash fire on the launch pad. Reverend Stout, a chaplain to many of the astronauts, had grown close to White and knew the young astronaut planned to carry a Bible to the moon. Stout vowed to stay on and see White's dream fulfilled. But undertaking a religious endeavor in the midst of a government-sponsored space program posed a dilemma for Stout and many of the astronauts. Among Stout's obstacles was a lawsuit launched by renowned atheist Madalyn Murray O'Hair against NASA to prevent religious acts in space. It fell to Stout and his Apollo Prayer League to find a way. The result was an extraordinary drama that unfolded behind the scenes as America rushed headlong to the moon.
